“…It has also been reported that higher BTP is associated with higher life satisfaction and general happiness (Barsics, Rebetez, Rochat, D'Argembeau, & Van der Linden, 2017;Boniwell & Zimbardo, 2004;Simons, Peeters, Janssens, Lataster, & Jacobs, 2016;Webster & Ma, 2013;Gao, 2011), extraversion (Stolarski, 2016;, positive orientation (Sobol-Kwapińska & Jankowski, 2016), satisfaction with interpersonal relations (Stolarski, Wojtkowska, & Kwiecińska, 2016), emotional intelligence (Stolarski, Bitner, & Zimbardo, 2011), and mindfulness (Selma & Sircova, 2013;Stolarski, Wojtkowska, & Kwiecińska, 2016). Moreover, higher BTP is negatively correlated with pathophysiological stress (Olivera-Figueroa, Juster, Morin-Major, Marin, & Lupien, 2015). A more balanced profile of time perspective is related to fluid intelligence and higher executive control, which means that cognitive abilities play an important role in accepting time balance (Zajenkowski, Stolarski, Witowska, Maciantowicz, & Łowicki, 2016).…”

The aim of this report is twofold: 1) to demonstrate how grateful disposition is related to time perspectives in late adolescents and young people in the process of transition into early adulthood; 2) to verify whether age indeed moderates the relationship between the present-hedonistic dimension and gratitude, as well as future and gratitude in such a way that these relationships are stronger in high school students and undergraduates than in graduates. The results provide strong support for the hypothesis that gratitu de is higher in the case of the past-positive, present-hedonistic, and future time perspectives. As regards the reverse correlations, deviation from a balanced time perspective is positively associated with gratitude GQ-6 and IPIP-VIA. This suggests that different types of focus on recalling the past, experiencing the present, and facing the future might predict a grateful disposition and gratitude. Moreover, age moderated the relationship between the present-hedonistic perspective and gratitude.

Salivary cortisol in post-traumatic stress disorder: a systematic review and meta-analysis

et al. 2018

BackgroundStudies investigating salivary cortisol level as susceptibility marker for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) produced inconsistent results. The aim of this study was to compare salivary cortisol concentration levels in PTSD patients with those in controls by synthesizing published data.MethodsWe did a systematic review, meta-analysis and meta-regression of studies comparing concentrations of salivary cortisol between patients with PTSD and controls. The electronic databases of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Psyc-ARTICLES were searched for relevant articles. A random-effects model with restricted maximum-likelihood estimator is used to synthesize the effect size (assessed by standardized mean difference).ResultsA total of 784 articles were identified of which 22 were included in the final analysis. A trend of lower salivary cortisol levels was found in PTSD patients when compared with the controls (SMD = − 0.28, 95% CI-0.53;-0.04, p = 0.022). Subgroup analysis showed that the salivary cortisol levels were lower in patients with PTSD than in controls in studies conducted after 2007 or in studies using saliva samples collected in the morning.ConclusionsThe evidence from this meta-analysis supports that salivary samples collected in the morning consistently showed a lower salivary cortisol level in patients with PTSD than in controls, although whether salivary cortisol could be used as a diagnostic tool requires further research.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s12888-018-1910-9) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…These time perspectives are found to be associated with several behavioural and psychological domains; for example, Diaz-Morales et al (2007) report that low future orientation is associated with procrastination and indecision, Zimbardo, Keough, and Boyd (1997) report that present orientation is associated with risky driving, and Sailer et al (2014) report that lower past negative and present fatalistic scores, coupled with higher present hedonistic scores, were associated with greater life satisfaction. Deviation from a balanced time perspective (Stolarski et al, 2011), describing the fit between an individual's TP and an optimal balance between past, present and future orientation, has previously been shown to be associated with poorer subjective well-being (Zhang, Howell, & Stolarski, 2013), negative mood states (Stolarski, Matthews, Postek, Zimbardo, & Bitner, 2014), and lower systemic cortisol production (Olivera-Figueroa, Juster, Morin-Major, Marin, & Lupien, 2015).…”

Time perspective refers to the non-conscious parcelling of personal and social experiences into temporal categories, and is an important construct in the psychology of time. Another important factor in time's influence on behavioural and psychological processes relates to the circadian timing system, which intrinsically produces daily rhythms in a host of parameters. This circadian timing system underpins timing of sleep/wake behaviour. Further, circadian timing is related to, but not synonymous with, diurnal preference for the timing of sleep/wake during different parts of the 24 h day. However, the exact nature of the relationship of diurnal preference to the underlying circadian clock is not elucidated. Previous research has indicated associations between time perspective and diurnal preference. In the current study we have examined the nature of the interrelationships between circadian phase of entrainment (assessed with the Munich Chronotype Questionnaire), diurnal preference (assessed with the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire) and time perspectives in a sample of 193 adults. Both circadian phase and diurnal preference associate with present and future time perspectives, although when considered together in regression models, only diurnal preference predicts time preference. Further, we examined whether time perspectives might moderate the relationship between circadian phase of entrainment and diurnal preference, and find that this relationship is significantly moderated by present time perspectives, but not future time perspectives. These results indicate the intricate nature of interactions between domains of psychological and biological time.
